The historical event
The New Zealand Herald’s January 2 report lists a keel-boat race for two ladies and a steersman, with no boat-length limit. Pulling events were held in Arran Bay. The historical report lists the Perkes/Day crew first, Ruth/Garnett second and Trace/Day third; these source placings are kept separate from ASN’s replay result above.
Two selected Waiheke women’s races are now complete. The wider rowing and dinghy programme remains open. TEST rehearsals are excluded from official totals.
